We build software, then we run it.

Cowboi is a small studio out of Saskatchewan that designs, ships, and operates real products โ€” payment systems, tournament platforms, planning tools, and the client portals that hold them together. Not slideware. Live software with customers on it.

The people behind Payla

Cowboi grew out of a simple frustration: small businesses were stuck paying enterprise prices for software that still didn't quite fit. Payla started as the answer โ€” a payments and point-of-sale system built for the corner shop, the market stall, and the service operator, not the Fortune 500.

The team behind it comes from the Canadian investment fund industry โ€” decades spent building, managing, and administering the record-keeping and accounting systems that move real money for real people. RESPs, mutual funds, dealer administration: the unglamorous plumbing that has to be right, every time.

That's the through-line across everything on this page. We don't hand you a demo and disappear. We build the system, we run the servers, we watch the deployments, and we pick up the phone when something needs fixing. We build software, then we run it.
